STARE DECISIS.
Formerly, the courts applies earning capacity in fashioning child support awards in limited situations where the record demonstrated that the parent was shirking parental responsibilities by refusing to accept or seek gainful employment. Philbin v. Philbin 19 Cal.App. 3d 115, 96 Cal.Rptr. 408 (1971) With enactment of the Agnos Child Support Standards Act of 1984, the Legislature observed , in former Civil Code section 4720 (a), California has no single standard to promote equitable, adequate child support awards. The current method of setting child support awards has led a substantial variation in these awards among families with similar circumstances and resources. Also, part of the 1984 Agnos Child Support Standards Act was the addition of the language “ the court shall also consider, to the extent consistent with the best interest of the child or children, the earning capacity of either or both parents.
To break the complexity of the word earning capacity, in In re Marriage of Regnery, 214 Cal.App. 3d 1367, Cal.Rptr. (1989), the Regnery court announced a three-prong test before the capacity to earn standard may be applied. Capacity to earn composed of (1) ability to work, (2) willingness to work and (3) opportunity to work. However, Appellate courts have encountered that danger and complexity of earning capacity after the case of Regnery.
After such complexity, the court recognized that the second element, willingness to work, should be taken for granted and recast the Regnery’s three-prong test into two is (1) ability to work and (2) opportunity to work. In re Marriage of Destein, 91 Cal.App.4th 1385,1392,…...

...Management in all business and organizational activities is the act of coordinating the efforts of people to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal.Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.
Since organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. This view opens the opportunity to 'manage' oneself, a prerequisite to attempting to manage others.
The verb manage comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle, especially tools), which derives from the Latin word manus (hand). The French word mesnagement (later ménagement) influenced the development in meaning of the English word management in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Views on the definition and scope of management include:
* Management defined as the organization and coordination of the activities of an enterprise in accordance with certain policies and in achievement of clearly defined objectives
* Fredmund Malik defines as Management is the transformation of resources into utility.
* Management included as one of the factors of production -......
